(I think this is meant to be a team building game thing...)

If you would be stranded on a deserted island and you can only bring one object with you, what would it be and why? It has to be something that you can carry, I guess an inflatable boat is ok... but... well its upto you.

Think of Tom Hanks on Castaway, just like that.

I think I would bring a doll, the one on my avatar. If im gonna lose my mind, might as well talk to something cute instead of a ball with a drawn face.

A satellite phone, if a plane fell off course there has to be a satellite somewhere in the area that it communicated with.

I'd bring you cecilia. Hopefully I'd be able to carry you (since that's a requirement) and the other option would be VI who I don't think I could carry. If I'm going to lose my mind, might as well talk to a real person for a while first!

If people are out of the question, I'd take a sharp knife. Survival is so much easier with one than without.

Well I think an average sized guy can carry me, but sadly, no humans.

I would bring a survival kit.

If the island was unreachable, I would bring an AK-47 equipped with a light, bayonet and 100rd drum magazine. This is because hunting would prove very hard for me at first, I would like my first meals with assistance from a gun. I choose the AK because I don't have cleaning supplies. The light could be useful at night and the bayonet is a knife.

And yes, it is technically one item.

Eh, I would bring a knife. That or (waterproof) matches.

Because yes, I would know to bring a knife on the "off" (divided by 0) chance of becoming lost on an island.

You would have an undefined chance of knowing that your going to crash, unless of course you are able to bend the 6th dimension and see your possible 5-D outcomes (aka being able to see the crash before you even buy your ticked).

Ya...

I could easily survive on a desert island, because i have watched every episode of survivorman and if he can last a week with a toothpick and a rubber band then i have a pretty good chance with a full survival kit.

Having camped for a large portion of my life oft alone, I'd be fine with a hunting knife. Using a decent size stick and a large rock one can make deadfalls which will kill the small pray one is usually interested in whilst in the kind of situation.

Standard brass .308 Remington rounds? Its the same stuff that hunting rifle's bullets are made out of (just a different caliber). I just wouldn't use cheap Russian ammunition thats made of lead.

I chose the AK because it can come with a massive magazine, useful accessories, and basically never jams even in terrible conditions.
